The funeral of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, was marked by tears, music and a renewed call for justice on Wednesday, including remarks by Vice President Kamala Harris. Via Politico:

“This is a family that lost their son and their brother through an act of violence, at the hands and the feet of people who had been charged with keeping them safe,” Harris said at the service in Memphis.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) plans to reintroduce after next week’s State of the Union speech the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act with a “Tyre Nichols Duty to Intervene” provision added, Nichols family attorney Ben Crump said at the service.

[...] “This violent act was not in pursuit of public safety. … When we talk about public safety, let us understand what it means in its truest form,” Harris said of the police action that killed Nichols. “Tyre Nichols should have been safe.”
